1996 CHEVROLET BERETTA Complaints

AFTER A LENGTH DISCUSSION WITH SERVICE MANAGER, BRYAN RADIN, TODAY I WAS TOLD THE WORK WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE SPACE IN THE REPAIR DATES AND I WOULD BE CHARGE THE FULL RATES. ONLY AFTER I POINTED OUT THAT MY IGNITION COILS HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPLACED AND HAVE A LIFE TIME WARRANTY A DEDUCTION IN THE BILL WAS MADE. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN EXCUSE UPON EXCUSE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE BUT I STILL FIND MYSELF TOWING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WEEKS LATER WITH THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEMS.*AK
